As MEDA's Director of Development & Communications, I led our fundraising and marketing efforts for MEDA’s impactful programs and initiatives. Our team saw tremendous growth and achievement over the past two years, which included our two most successful grant fundraising years since 2012; and expanded the team from 3 FTE in 2019 to 6 FTE in 2021. During this time we grew our individual donor program from scratch, and coordinated two of our most successful galas to date, hosting the legendary Dolores Huerta as a keynote for both events. And, our critical communications efforts consistently continued to advance our work on the local, regional and national stage.
